They name-checked my favorite blues bar, Rosa's. That's awesome.

I'm still surprised you don't live here.

It's a catch-22. There was talk of the family base being relocated there. Part of the reason it was an iffy proposition was because any time any two units of my family move to the same city, within 6 months, they're no longer on speaking terms. This has already happened in 4 different cities.

Plus, I've become really used to a lack of snow. It's kind of hard to go out and spin fire on ice, surrounded by 4' or more of snow. There are people who do this, but they tend to be good at doing really dangerous things on ice...
